General Notes: Husband - Christopher Spangler


He was born in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, and lived for some time in early manhood in Union County, Pennsylvania, east of New Berlin, before locating at another homestead. He bought the interest of George Hoerrner in the tract, and was the first settler, although a log cabin stood there at the time of the purchase.

He was a powerful man, well built and robust, and, while farming was his chief occupation in Centre County, he also followed weaving at times, having learned the trade in youth. He was a man of strong convictions - moral, religious and political - and fearlessly carried them out. The Sabbath breaker and the tippler slunk away at his approach. The profane man and the bully subsided into silence as he passed, all evil-doers dreading his reproof. He was unusually intelligent, and was a warm friend of education, heartily supporting the common-school system when that question was submitted to a vote of the people. At one time he was a Lutheran, but in 1806 he united with the Evangelical Association, in which he became a leader. He was well versed in Scripture, and at one time was a local preacher. His house, which was built in 1805, was a rendezvous for preachers, and services were often held there before any churches were erected. In politics he was a stanch Democrat, and he voted regularly, considering it a duty.
